The pain may not be over yet for Bitcoin investors, according to one crypto analyst, arguing that there’s still more leverage that could be flushed out.  Crypto analyst James Check described the recent market meltdown as a “2-sigma long liquidation event,” which wiped out a “chunk of degen gamblers.” Most of the leverage is gone, but the market “has an incredible nose that can sniff out the final hold-outs,” he added, cautioning that a further flush out could be on the cards.  “We wouldn’t be too surprised if we wick into the $70k-$80k zone to flush the final leverage pockets.” A 2-sigma liquidation event in crypto refers to a significant market movement that triggers mass liquidations of leveraged positions, with “2-sigma,” or two standard deviations, indicating the statistical magnitude of the price swing.
